An internal Trump administration document reportedly shows that anti-fraud checks recently installed at the Social Security agency have found just two cases of potentially improper benefit claims out of more than 110,000—a rate of 0.0018%.

The documents, first reported Thursday by Nextgov/FCW, further undercut President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk’s narrative that Social Security is brimming with fraud. #Musk falsely claimed in March that “40% of the calls into Social Security were fraudulent.”

        As am I. Want to set up a little lemonade-esk stand outside the capital? We can sell big pitchers of distilled rage. Or crystalized rage for the heavy user.

          I think the true way forward is to lock your local communities and states down if you can. Get the good laws passed by the state, make them do the dirty shit. Though its rough cause I say second amendment but I know they want marshal law, it says it in Project 2025.
